Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe Break Down the Explosive ‘Tokyo Vice’ Season 2 Premiere: ‘Jake Is Being a Very Bad Boy’
Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe and the cast/crew of "Tokyo Vice" break down Season 2's explosive premiere and talk about what's to come for the series.
For his part, Elgort was a bit more forgiving and sympathetic of Jake’s decision, attributing it to loneliness and a desire to connect with someone following the fallout of his relationship with Samantha Porter, played by Rachel Keller. Played by Shô Kasamatsu, Season 1’s finale saw our good-hearted (but often corroded and conflicted by the underworld’s dark influences) yakuza bleeding out on the street — betrayed by a member of his own Chihara-kai clan. Though there are some loose threads from Season 1 to tie up, new characters — like the heir apparent to the Chihara-kai clan Naoki Hayama (Yosuke Kubozuka) — and story beats will continue to test raise the stakes and keep viewers watching (and singing along to the Backstreet Boys).
